11.3 Adjusting the Crotch Strap Length
The crotch strap length should
be adjusted such that a gap of
1/2" to 1" is present between the
ears of the buckle, and the top
of the child's thigh, disregarding
any clothing or diaper (Fig 55-1).
Your child will grow very quickly
so always check that the buckle
is the proper height whenever
placing your child in the Car Seat.
The crotch strap length is adjusted
as follows:
1. Lift up on the crotch strap pad and you will see
the crotch strap anchor clip riding in a slot in
the crotch strap cavity in the car seat shell.
Pull outward on the metal clip, while feeding
the crotch strap webbing downward, until the
crotch strap metal clip is removed from the slot.
DO NOT attempt to completely remove the
crotch strap from the Car Seat. (Fig 55-2)

2. Adjust the length of the Crotch Strap to the
desired length. For small children, the length
of the Crotch Strap is shortened by wrapping
additional strap material around the metal clip.
For larger children, the length is increased by
unwrapping material from around the metal
clip. (Fig 56-1)
3. Reinsert the Crotch Strap metal clip into the
slot in the Crotch Strap cavity while pulling
upward on the Crotch Strap buckle. Check that
the Crotch Strap metal clip is completely seated
all the way down in the slots before using the
Car Seat. (Fig 56-2)
4. Push the Crotch Strap buckle back up through
the slot in the Seat Pad and return the Seat Pad
to its original position on the seat shell.
